hi,
    I agree Patrick's suggestion. Currently, i use 5 Dual P III CPU with 2GB
ram and raid5 for about 150 users. It works fine for more than 2 years. Why
i use 5 servers? Two reasons:

1.I have to synchronise application between servers. So i have schedule jobs
to automatically disable logon, copy application files, then enable again
every day.

2.There are erp terminal servers, every client will use ay least 45Mb to
80Mb ram,maybe have the potential to use about 120 Mb ram.

Hope this can help you. Thank you.
